I have been focusing on silver mostly with nox in the turf. In the water is a different matter. I Have got many gold with it.To get turf gold you have to be focused on it to get better results. I was more focused with x-terra on turf gold so I did much better. I have found 8 pieces of gold in the turf since March 7. I have tried hunting the gulf beaches, but I find close to nothing. I have been concentrating on the 6-10 numbers, and it has worked out well for me in the locations I frequent. I turn down the sensitivity to 18 on the Equinox so I don't go too deep, and I keep the speed up to 7. The 15" covers the ground and all I have to do is dig quickly and move on to the next target. After 2 hours my legs are shot! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Nice job picking that chain out. Pretty beefy, think that hits in around $600 or so in just gold weight right? There a lot of can slaw where your digging? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dances With Doves Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 That is a good amount of turf gold for that time frame.I would pick certain type of targets to dig and also mix it up a little. I would try not to burn myself out to fast when I was focused on turf gold. Location was everything for better results .One year I had more turf then water gold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Beautiful gold chain and charm and hats off to you. Most folks totally walk away from gold chains and bracelets, not even knowing it. I've only found about 10 of them in 40+ yrs of detecting. Most were recovered because of the charms that responded, not the actual gold chain. I do have 2 I remember that did not have charms and they were not even solid signals, just broken blips. One gold ankle bracelet I found on a beach in Bahamas was pulled up with my scoop, but it was not the initial target, a coin. The ankle bracelet did not even respond to the detector at all, just got lucky. Well done and I wish you more in the future. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numerous coins have come from that area when I have detected it in the past, but that was when I mainly focused on coins while leaving the "junk" signals (lower numbers) in the ground. Well, since learning that the lower numbers are good numbers for gold, let's just say that that was the focus of this day's swinging. The 15" covered the ground well and hit hard on something on the corner of a sandpit by the track. Less than an inch down, it came in a strong 6 (similar to the sport during foil covers that I had been finding) using Park 1, 7 speed, and 18 sensitivity. The chain was latched, so it must have been set aside for safe keeping and dropped. Holy Cow! That’s incredible! Big congrats!👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
